this will be a close call for the islands, I think.
The problem with these systems is that they dump a lot of wind and rain on us all at once. that's when we get flooding. Our roads sure don't have the proper drainage at any time, let alone when heavy rain is occurring.

when do you think it will reach our area?

ANOTHER HIGH-AMPLITUDE TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 57W/58W APPROACHING THE LESSER ANTILLES S OF 19N MOVING W 15-20 KT. THE NORTHERN END OF THE WAVE IS INTERACTING WITH AN UPPER TROUGH TO PRODUCE SCATTERED MODERATE CONVECTION FROM 16.5N-20N BETWEEN 56W-60W. WEAK LOW/MID-LEVEL CIRCULATION IS ALONG THE WAVE NEAR 14N. RAIN CHANCES SHOULD BE ON THE RISE FOR THE WINDWARD AND ESPECIALLY LEEWARD ISLANDS FOR SAT.

Wave is about to enter a lower-shear environment (10-20 knots vs 20-40 knots) over the eastern Caribbean...plus the early morning visibles show the low-mid-level circulation that was near Barbados last night has migrated WNW to around 14.5/56...with intense convection just north of this "center"...I'll be watching for any wind shifts from the Islands today.

Fellow members who live in the NE Caribbean islands.If you see wind shifts in your area post them here to see if with the observations we can detect something spinning or nothing is there.Also check the pressures.

In San Juan it's sunny with calm winds and 29.98 mbs the pressure.
